Detective Conan: A Dream Come True, Ran is Startled

Although they didn't say anything, they could read each other's thoughts from their eyes!

In response, Lin Jin said with a playful tone, "No need to rush, take turns, everyone has a chance."

“…I…I’ll do it.” What could Tomoko Suzuki say?

As a mother, I had no choice but to step forward at this time!

She helped Yuanzi off Lin Jin, then climbed back up herself, muttering, "What's wrong with this pool? We've been swimming for so long and we still haven't reached the edge."

“Yes!” Ayako Suzuki also found it strange. She turned her head to look at the poolside in the distance, feeling that the distance hadn’t been shortened at all.

I could hear my mother's humming sounds coming from beside me.

Tomoko Suzuki pretended not to notice and instead began discussing the issue with Sonoko: "Sonoko, you also think this is strange, right?"

"Yes...yes," Sonoko replied, her face turning bright red.

She thought she had acted very well and that neither her mother nor her sister had noticed.

But I didn't expect my actions to be so obvious.

They weren't unaware; they were just pretending not to know!

Thinking of this, Sonoko secretly glanced at Tomoko, and the two of them made eye contact.

Not a single word was spoken, yet everything was implied.

Sonoko hurriedly turned her head away, awkwardly changing the subject, and muttered, "That's strange... why can't we get to the shore?"

Tomoko didn't say anything. She felt that her image as a strict mother must have already collapsed in Sonoko and Ayako's hearts.

At this point, she suddenly received a huge shock from Lin Jin, and her soul seemed to leave her body again, uttering a sound that was difficult to understand.

Seeing Sonoko and Ayako pretending not to hear and continuing to discuss "why they can't reach the shore," Suzuki Tomoko realized that they had all discovered her, and that the image she had painstakingly cultivated for over ten years was gone.

In the eyes of his two daughters, his dignified image had crumbled.

Upon realizing this, Tomoko Suzuki felt everything go black, her legs kicked out, and she lost consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, Tomoko Suzuki opened her eyes and woke up.

She found herself slumped over her desk; the clock showed it was only a little past ten.

0 ···Requesting flowers··· ········

"..." Suzuki Tomoko was a little confused and couldn't figure out what was going on for a moment.

Wasn't she in the swimming pool with her two daughters and Lin Jin?

How did I suddenly end up back in the study?

Tomoko Suzuki was initially confused, but gradually she came to her senses and finally realized that she had just had a dream!

“How could I have such an absurd and immoral dream?” Tomoko Suzuki recalled the contents of her dream.

I was immediately overwhelmed with shame and disbelief.

It's utterly incomprehensible that I would have such a morally reprehensible dream!

However, the only thing that made Tomoko Suzuki feel fortunate about was that it was just a dream.

She breathed a slight sigh of relief knowing it was a dream only she knew.

.... ... ....

"Sigh, it seems she's really been holding back! She can even have dreams like this!" Tomoko Suzuki shook her head, feeling somewhat ashamed!

Just as she got up to leave, she heard a rushing sound of water.

Tomoko Suzuki looked down and was shocked.

She never imagined that even a dream could become such a disaster!

Fortunately, he was the only one in the study.

If others find out, my reputation will be ruined!

In a moment of relief, Tomoko Suzuki quickly grabbed the tea from the table and splashed water on the chair, the floor, and her own skirt, ruining the scene.

After confirming several times that the scene had been destroyed, she pressed the call button and summoned the maid.

dong dong dong ——

"Madam, I'm coming in." The study door opened, and the maid entered.

Tomoko Suzuki calmly wiped the wet spots on her skirt with a tissue and said, "Clean this up."

The maid nodded knowingly and said, "I understand, madam."

She turned and went out to get cleaning tools, then came back in and began cleaning up the water stains.

Tomoko Suzuki asked casually, "Has that Detective Hayashi left?"

"Reporting to Madam, they've left." The maid said while tidying up, "After dinner, they took a stroll around the manor twice and then left, around eight or nine o'clock."

"I see..." Tomoko Suzuki nodded knowingly, feeling relieved.

While she was relieved that the dream wasn't real, she also felt regretful that it wasn't real.

But when she thought about how chaotic and complicated the relationships between the characters in this dream were, she was also glad that the dream wasn't actually small.

Chapter 102 The Joys of the Bathroom (2 Updates)

"What a beautiful dream~~~~~"

After waking up in her bedroom, Sonoko was still immersed in the beautiful dream she had the night before.

She felt the only flaw was that the dream wasn't just about herself, but also about her sister and mother!

This gave her a rather peculiar feeling.

It cannot be explained.

Sonoko quickly took a shower to calm herself down before changing into casual clothes and going downstairs for breakfast.

She ran into Ayako at the restaurant.

The scene from yesterday's dream resurfaced.

This made Sonoko's heart tighten, and she quickly dismissed the thought, greeting her repeatedly, "Good morning, sister."

"Good morning, Sonoko." Ayako replied casually as always before sitting down at the table to eat breakfast.

Although she appeared to be no different from before, she was still as absent-minded as ever.

The two started eating breakfast, but for some reason, an awkward atmosphere filled the air, making both of them very uncomfortable.

Just then, Tomoko Suzuki arrived.

"You two got up quite early today," she said with her usual aloofness.

"Good morning, Mom." Ayako and Sonoko quickly greeted Tomoko Suzuki, but their thoughts drifted away.

"Yes, let's continue eating." Tomoko Suzuki nodded, sat down, and gestured for them to continue eating.

This made Ayako and Sonoko tense up, and they quickly regained their composure and obediently sat down to eat breakfast.

However, thanks to the relationship with that dream.

Both of them felt that their mother was different from before.

It has lost its former solemnity and gained a touch of everyday life!

Their fear of Tomoko lessened somewhat.

"Did you treat Mr. Lin well again last night?" Suzuki Tomoko asked casually while eating breakfast.

"Ah... it was too late last night, and I didn't have a chance to properly entertain Brother Lin." Sonoko came back to her senses and said helplessly, "I could only show him around the villa for a bit before it got late."

"Brother Lin left, saying it wasn't good to stay too late here."

Upon hearing this, Tomoko Suzuki's impression of him improved even more!

She nodded and said, "That's true... I'll thank him later!"

“He saved your lives. Treating him to a meal is not enough to express our Suzuki family’s gratitude to him.”

The reasons she gave were so reasonable that no one could find fault with them.

"Mmm!!" Sonoko nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and said excitedly, "I'll take him to our Suzuki family's place to have a good time later!"

Ayako Suzuki, who was standing next to her, didn't say anything, but the corners of her mouth were slightly turned up.

After finishing breakfast, Sonoko said goodbye to her mother and sister and went to Shinjuku to meet up with Ran!

She noticed that Xiaolan's expression was very serious as soon as she met her!

Sonoko was puzzled and was about to ask when Ran said seriously, "Sonoko... I had a dream too!"

“I dreamt that Matsumoto-sensei got married, and then… he was poisoned by the groom.”

"Just like your previous dream... I can reset my dream multiple times!"

"..."

Sonoko was quite surprised by this, but not overly so.

After all, I've been through it myself.

She first went to a coffee shop and then asked Xiaolan about the situation.

After learning the whole story, Sonoko was shocked. She exclaimed in disbelief, "The murderer is the groom?!"

"What? The teacher forgave him in the end? And was even willing to wait for him for three years?"

"No, is the teacher out of their mind?"

"........."

Ran also expressed her understanding of Sonoko's shock.

After repeated attempts and uncovering the truth, she was utterly shocked.

"No! We absolutely cannot let the teacher be with that madman!" Sonoko said with a determined look in her eyes, "If you want revenge, then take it out on Inspector Matsumoto. I can explain that I misunderstood!"

"But he attacked the teacher. What did the teacher do wrong?"

"He's clearly a bully who preys on the weak!"

Ran wavered slightly upon hearing Sonoko's words, but still said, "But... Mr. Takasugi is someone you've liked since you were little!!"

"That's just wishful thinking on the teacher's part; she's just caught up in her own fantasy!" Sonoko saw through the matter immediately and said, "To Mr. Takasugi, the teacher is just a stranger he casually helped when he was a child!"

"What feelings are there? He approached the teacher purely for revenge!!"

“From the very beginning, Mr. Takasugi’s motives were impure. How could he possibly fall in love with the teacher?”

"I think he will admit his mistakes and show remorse, but only in order to lessen his crimes and get out of prison sooner!"

After listening to Sonoko's analysis, Xiaolan immediately felt that it made a lot of sense.

However, she frowned and said, "But... it seems like we can't stop it, can we? Teacher's feelings for Mr. Takasugi are so deep!"

"Tsk... this..." Sonoko scratched her head, unable to think of a good solution for the moment, and said, "How about we go visit the teacher and see how things go!"

"Mmm!" Xiaolan nodded, indicating that the idea was good.

....................................

"I'm back... Hmm? Where is everyone?"

When Akemi returned home, she found the living room empty...

"Lin-kun~~~Shiho?" She searched the bedroom and study, but couldn't find her.

This puzzled Mingmei, since there were shoes in the entryway, and the two of them should be at home.

As she returned to the living room with regret, she suddenly heard a sound coming from the bathroom. Startled, she tiptoed over and listened intently at the bathroom door:

"Push harder, Shiho. You won't get it clean like this."

"Then how do we clean it?"

"Of course we need to use force, and we can't overlook this place either."

"Okay! Then I'll rub it hard!!"
